How to Choose the Right Eaton Fuller
The right transmission depends on your application, load weight, terrain, and driver preference.
| Configuration | Best For | Avoid If |
|---|---|---|
| 9-Speed | Medium-duty regional haul, lighter loads, Class 6-7 trucks | Heavy-haul, mountain driving, Class 8 OTR |
| 10-Speed | Class 8 OTR linehaul, general freight, most common choice | Extreme heavy-haul, frequent mountain grades |
| 13-Speed | Heavy-haul, mountain driving, versatile for varied terrain | Light-duty applications where 10-speed suffices |
| 18-Speed | Extreme heavy-haul, oversized loads, steep mountain grades | Standard OTR, inexperienced drivers |
| AMT (Automated) | Fleets wanting fuel savings, driver comfort, reduced training | Drivers who prefer full manual control |

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a remanufactured Eaton Fuller transmission cost?
Remanufactured Eaton Fuller transmission prices vary by model: 9-Speed $2,000–$3,500, 10-Speed $2,500–$5,000, 13-Speed $3,000–$6,000, 18-Speed $3,500–$7,000, and UltraShift AMT $4,000–$8,500. Call (631) 991-7700 for an exact quote based on your specific model number.
What is the difference between a 10-speed and 13-speed Eaton Fuller?
A 10-speed Eaton Fuller has a 5-speed main box with a 2-speed range (high/low), giving 10 forward gears. A 13-speed adds a 3-position splitter to the top 4 gears, providing finer gear steps at highway speeds. The 13-speed is preferred for heavy-haul and mountain driving where maintaining momentum through precise gear selection is critical. For standard OTR linehaul, a 10-speed is typically sufficient.
How long does a remanufactured Eaton Fuller transmission last?
A properly remanufactured Eaton Fuller manual transmission can last 500,000–1,000,000+ miles with proper maintenance. These are extremely durable transmissions when maintained correctly. Key maintenance includes regular gear oil changes (every 50,000 miles or annually), proper clutch adjustment, and avoiding abuse like skip-shifting under load.
What gear oil does an Eaton Fuller transmission use?
Eaton recommends 50W synthetic gear oil for most Fuller transmissions. Specifically, Eaton PS-164 Rev. 7 approved oils. For cold climates, synthetic 50W provides better cold-start shifting. Never use 80W-90 or 85W-140 gear oil in a Fuller transmission — it's too thick and causes hard shifting and premature synchronizer wear.
What is an UltraShift transmission?
The Eaton UltraShift is an automated manual transmission (AMT) — it's a standard Fuller manual transmission with computer-controlled shifting. It uses an electronic clutch actuator and shift mechanism to automate gear changes. Benefits include better fuel economy (2-5% improvement), reduced driver fatigue, lower maintenance costs (no clutch pedal or clutch wear), and easier driver training. It's available in 10, 13, and 18-speed configurations.
Can I convert from an Allison automatic to an Eaton Fuller manual?
While technically possible, converting from an Allison automatic to an Eaton Fuller manual is a major project requiring a new clutch housing, flywheel, clutch, pedal assembly, driveline modifications, and ECM reprogramming. In most cases, it's more cost-effective to stay with the same transmission type. Call (631) 991-7700 to discuss your specific situation.
